Technology to Explore Deep Space Rick Kang 1-97 Scientific Use of Digitaized Data - a sampler Goal: Estimate the distance to galaxy M101 by using simple geometry. Suggestion: Quickly read through the entire exercise so that you have a grasp of the nature of the project. Then come back and work out the details. Method: Use concept of ratio of apparent size to distance to relate galaxy at known distance that displays a particular diameter, to galaxy at UNKNOWN distance that displays a different diameter. Tools: Digitized images of known and unknown galaxies (images must be of same scale - we furnish several images here), ruler, calculator, pencil and paper. (Use image analysis software if you wish to download the images, enhance contrast, and count actual pixels.) Astronomy Background: Galaxies are pancake or football-like volumes in space that possess huge gravitational fields, hence collect lots of matter, including hydrogen gas, one of the early building blocks of our known Universe. Over time, much of this gas becomes stars, the stars cook up all the chemical elements of our Periodic Table, and use these elements to produce lots of planets and who knows how many intelligent life forms who may be going through this same exercise at this very moment.

Home Micro Projects Astronomy Scale ... Links Astronomy Projects One of my favorite projects while working for the UCLA Astronomy Department was The UCLA 24" telescope I converted a Meade ETX-90RA into a Goto telescope Back in the mid 70's, I made (and briefly used) a 6" aluminum telescope mirror. The blanks came from a company called Innovative Optical Materiel. While they claimed that their aluminum alloy was "special", just about any aluminum should work. This company is long out of business, but I still have a copy of their grinding instructions on making Aluminum Mirrors If you decide to make an aluminum mirror, I'd like to hear about your experiences. Also, note that there's some milling and power tools mentioned in their document. Please be careful and use common sense. When milling out the curve on an aluminum mirror, I used these equations: Calculating the Sagitta of a spherical mirror S = ROC - SQRT (ROC^2 - r^2) Sagitta at any radius of a spherical mirror: Sr = SQRT (ROC^2 - y^2) - SQRT (ROC^2 - r^2) where ROC = radius of curvature r = radius of mirror y = radius at which sagitta is measured.

Astronomy Show-n-Tell Of quiet joys and comradery beneath the celestial vault (Revised 08/17/05) The many fine starry nights I've enjoyed, often shared with my wife Peggy or my old friend Chuck, have been time well spent plus they've been a source of interesting thoughts and projects. * I've no "discoveries" to report, just a few extraordinary meteorite falls (one bright enough to cast shadows) and some odd "ghost" trails that seemed a cross between aurora borealis and a regular meteorite track. * I've spent time watching the Moon's terminator sweep along while the Sun's grazing rays catch prominences so stark and isolated on the terminator's dark side that they look like colossal artifacts. It was fun to calculate their relative heights with high school trigonometry. * Orion, of course, is reason enough to purchase or build a larger 'scope. Our Coulter 13", an excellent value, really does a job on that splendid system! *** Link of the millenium: http://cleardarksky.com/csk/coverage.html This is a meteorological forcasting service set up for astronomers nice! * At long last I've scanned in all of my astro snap shots between 1991 and 1996. For what it's worth, these are 10th mag limited (well, almost but 12th mag near Polaris) 23 x 36 degree frames with about 2 arc minute resolution. The frames and circles are centered on 10 stars distributed through 24 hours of right ascension. Anyone interested is welcome to a CD of this project and its images.

51. Robert Woodrow Wilson - Autobiography Our early radio astronomy projects are described in my Nobel lecture. Following that, I did two applied radio astronomy projects. http://nobelprize.org/physics/laureates/1978/wilson-autobio.html

HOME SITE HELP ABOUT SEARCH ... EDUCATIONAL My grandparents moved to Texas from the South after the U.S. Civil War and settled on small farms in the Dallas-Ft. Worth area. Both families emphasized education as the way to improve their children's lives and both my parents managed to graduate from college. After receiving an M.A. in chemistry from Rice University, my father worked for an oil well service company in Houston. I was born on January, 10, 1936. Two sisters followed, three and seven years later. I attended public school in Houston. I took piano lessons for several years, and in high school, I played trombone in the marching band. I remember especially enjoying two seasonal activities: ice skating with the Houston Figure Skating Club in the winter and visiting an aunt and uncle's farm in west Texas in the summer. During my pre-college years I went on many trips with my father into the oil fields to visit their operations. On Saturday mornings I often went with him to visit the company shop. I puttered around the machine, electronics, and automobile shops while he carried on his business. Both of my parents are inveterate do-it-yourselfers, almost no task being beneath their dignity or beyond their ingenuity. Having picked up a keen interest in electronics from my father, I used to fix radios and later television sets for fun and spending money. I built my own hi-fi set and enjoyed helping friends with their amateur radio transmitters, but lost interest as soon as they worked.

@import "../percent.css"; Astronomy Projects Asteroids Comets Star-Forming Regions Asteroids Observations of Asteroids with the JCMT Astronomers in the JCMT Group (Redman, Feldman, and Matthews) have made and published ( 1998, Astronomical Journal, vol. 116, pp. 1478-1490 ) an analysis of their 1993-95 JCMT measurements of the thermal continuum emission from the large asteroids 1 Ceres, 4 Vesta, 6 Hebe, 7 Iris, 16 Psyche, 18 Melpomene, and 216 Kleopatra. They have combined their observations with previously published data (where available) to construct spectral energy distributions (SEDs) covering the wavelength range where thermal emission (as opposed to reflected sunlight) dominates the spectrum. The SEDs can be understood qualitatively in terms of the metal fractions, surface densities, and rotation periods of the asteroids. Possibly the most interesting result of this work has been the discovery that the normalized SEDs of the two M-type asteroids (Psyche and Kleopatra) plunge strongly from infrared to millimetre wavelengths. These observations are consistent with the presence of large fractions of free metals in their surface materials, which would make them reflective rather than emissive at longer wavelengths. This is the first mineralogical distinction that can be drawn from the shape of an asteroid's thermal SED. It offers the possibility that remote prospecting for metals on the surfaces of asteroids can be done passively at submillimetre wavelengths as well as actively by high-power microwave radar. The cover of the September 1998 issue of the Astronomical Journal featured the following figure, taken from the paper by Redman, Feldman, and Matthews. It shows the SED of 216 Kleopatra, represented by the effective thermal emissivity of Kleopatra's surface as a function of wavelength.

Radio astronomy projects , by Jeffrey Lichtman, SARA The radio spectrum is by far less used than its visible counterpart. It is a challenge for an amateur to get information from this so-called "noise from space" and be interested in such activities. The next list gathers potential subjects which confirm however there are a lot of thing to do even using small infrastructures. Some of them are ambitious but well in the range of the capabilities of an amateur radio telescope. In parallel to these activities if you can do visual observation of the same areas, you can try to correlate these observations with radio records. Then you will begin to understand where is the true utility of your work. The solar activity Being the most powerful radiosource, the Sun is of course our best observation subject. Your equipment only requests a broad beamed radio telescope, optionaly fixed on an equatorial mount. In a period of a few months you can detect the periodicity of the signals induced by its rotational rate. With some accuracy you can also detect the non-uniformity of this rate according to the solar latitude. Le Soleil radioélectrique Jupiter storms These electrical storms we can heard in the HF bands between 18-24 MHz are of very high intensity and may be detected with communications type receivers tuned to an inactive portion of this band. Antennas used are identical with any antenna system resonant at this frequency. The noises are so powerful that the antenna need not necessarily be resonant.
